Not on My SV but car indicator relay, it ticks after the indicator has been turned off, no indicator lights iluminate, just the relay ticking.

I know that a relay is a switch that is/can be controlled by another circuit, can be used to switch higher voltages with a low voltage circuit to reduce arcing and can also be used to delay switching.

In automotive lighting/indicators relays are to reduce arcing/wear on the switches.

All that said I dont know what causes an indicator relay to tick when not in use? and it's intermitent! (worse kind of fault).

I know this isn't SV related,but I know there are wiser people who frequent this forum.
